In a world where societal issues often go unnoticed, the UNB's Certificate in Family Violence Issues (C-FVI) program shines a light on a pressing global concern that affects countless lives. The C-FVI is a unique 8-course certificate program that offers you the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of family violence and its impact on individuals and communities.
The C-FVI was developed by the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Center for Family Violence Research (MMFC) in 1998, and is now available to take through a hybrid of in-person and online courses.
The hybrid offering of the Certificate in Family Violence Issues program provides access to both online and in-person courses. This option is ideal for those who can access the UNB campus or who simply want a combination of in-person and online courses.
To get your C-FVI (hybrid option), you must complete eight courses for a total of 24 credit hours. Out of the eight courses:
*Course substitutions between categories are allowed so long as content relevance quotient is covered.
Please note that this course list is subject to change.
If you are a current UNB student in an undergraduate degree program who wants to register for the C-FVI, you are required to complete an Undergraduate Transfer Request and submit the completed form to the Registrar's Office for processing.
Students at other Canadian universities and colleges must apply to the C-FVI program as a visiting student.
If you cannot attend in-person courses, you can only apply for the online program.
Visiting students earn credit hours from each course in the C-FVI program and will receive a Certificate in Family Violence Issues upon successful completion.
Earned credit hours can be used toward a future degree at UNB, or you may be able to transfer them to your home university (talk to your academic advisor and/or the registrar's office at your home university before you enrol in the C-FVI program to ensure credit transfer is possible).
To register as a visiting student, complete the Undergraduate Application Form and submit all required transcripts to admissions@unb.ca.
Working professionals or members of the public who want to apply for the C-FVI program can do so directly from the online UNB Application Form.
